I Can't

You are a mirage of someone I could love,
Every glimpse of you is so fleeting.
You will be forever out of my reach,
But I know that I can't just stop reaching.

You're the riddle that's stuck in my head,
You're the thoughts that keep me guessing.
You will always be just a step away,
And yet I can't help myself for stepping.

You are the ghost of my heart,
Your gaze is forever haunting.
It would hurt less if I didn't want you,
Still I can't but continue my wanting.

Maybe in this life I can't have you,
But I think that I will keep chasing.
Because though I know that this isn't a race,
You're the one for whom my heart is racing.
